eMusic has just recently added the new Ringo Starr and Teenage Fanclub
discs (for those who say they have trouble finding their quota each
month!!).
They also have the new Aquabats, which I just pre-ordered on disc, so
the days of eMusic releases being "quarantined" for a while after the
physical release seem to be dissolving, at least for some labels.
With the recent discussion of russian bootleg sites and eMusic, and with
eMusic's shift away from their unlimited download policy, I would like
to repeat a question I've asked before. I know we have musicians and
label-chiefs on this list who distribute via eMusic. How do the royalty
rates from eMusic stack up? Before it was on an ASCAP, distribute based
on popularity mode, but I'd hope with the new model that it's more based
on actual "sales."
Is legitimate downloading becoming a recognizable, or even significant,
source of royalty income for artists?
